At half past ten, I arranged to meet Zhou Yunqiao at the sales office.

The salesperson took out the contract, looked through it, and there were no issues. We were about to sign and make the payment when Liu Yuyan appeared out of nowhere, walked straight up to us, and slammed her ID card on the table.

"Sister Yuzhu, add my name too. I want to move in too."

Ignoring our stunned expressions, she pulled up a chair and started giving me instructions, as if she were a family member.

"I'll count to three. If you don't leave, I'll call the police immediately!"

I angrily threw her ID card on the ground and sternly warned her.

Strangely enough, Zhou Yunqiao, who would always stand up for me, had a strange look on his face. He was staring at a corner of the contract, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

"You won't even write a name? Are you really that stingy? Brother Yunqiao, what do you think? Should we add my name or maybe you could buy another set for me?"

Liu Yuyan picked up her ID card and sat in front of me again, her eyes fixed on Zhou Yunqiao as she asked me.

Seeing her hostile intentions, the saleswoman signaled us to talk first and sign later.

Zhou Yunqiao still didn't say a word.

Recalling Liu Yuyan's previous encounters with him, such as kicking his leg under the table, I seemed to have figured out the reason.

Could it be that Zhou Yunqiao secretly started something with her?

It shouldn't be. In the list provided by the private investigator, there were only three men, and Zhou Yunqiao's name wasn't on it.

So what could be the reason?

"Yu Yue, come out. I have something to show you~"

At that moment, Zhou Yunqiao suddenly stood up, grabbed my hand, and led me outside.

When we reached a secluded place, he took out his phone and showed me a document.

It was his confession.

It turned out that after Liu Yuyan broke up with my younger brother Xiaotao, she became fixated on Zhou Yunqiao. She obtained his contact information and waited for him downstairs. Then, somehow, she managed to open his car and got inside, waiting for him to finish work, insisting on being with him.

After several attempts, Zhou Yunqiao bluntly told her that even if all the women in the world were gone, he still wouldn't be with her.

"But what if you're no longer with Nian Yuzhu?"

Liu Yuyan openly threatened him, forcing Zhou Yunqiao, who wanted to report her, to give up because he was afraid something might happen to me.

She sent him a picture of herself standing in my bathroom, while I was in the living room calculating the house payment. I hadn't noticed her.

He was afraid of losing me but didn't dare to tell me because he was afraid I would get upset.

So since then, every morning, he would ask me to go downstairs and meticulously check the doors and windows, installing tiny cameras. He kept an eye on the other party's every move.

But unexpectedly, this action only provoked Liu Yuyan even more. She thought Zhou Yunqiao liked her but was too afraid to say it.

So she took the initiative. A couple of days ago, when Zhou Yunqiao finished work in the evening and got into his car, he found her lying naked on the back seat. With just one glance, Zhou Yunqiao scolded her to put on her clothes and get out.

But she took selfies of him and herself, claiming to have evidence.

If he ignored her, she would send those to me. Knowing that I have a bad temper and strong self-esteem, she was certain I wouldn't listen to Zhou Yunqiao's explanation and would break up with him, giving her the advantage.

If they stayed together, it would be great. If not, she would still get a large sum of money.

If he didn't comply, she would post the video and photos in their company building and my advertising agency.

Zhou Yunqiao didn't dare to be too forceful and thought of ignoring her for a few days.

"I originally planned to go to thepolice, but I was afraid that she would carry out her threats and harm you or tarnish your reputation," Zhou Yunqiao explained with a pained expression on his face.

I was speechless. I couldn't believe that all this was happening behind my back. Liu Yuyan's actions were manipulative and cruel.

"Why didn't you trust me enough to tell me about this?" I asked, my voice trembling.

"I didn't want you to worry or get involved. I thought I could handle it on my own," he replied, his voice filled with regret.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of his love for me and the lengths he went to protect me.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Yunqiao. I should have trusted you," I said, reaching out to hold his hand.

He looked at me with a mix of relief and sadness. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I promise to handle it properly from now on."

We stood there, holding each other's hands tightly, finding solace in each other's presence.

As we returned to the sales office, Liu Yuyan was still sitting there, a smug smile on her face.

"Ready to sign the contract?" she asked, her tone filled with arrogance.

Zhou Yunqiao and I exchanged a determined glance. We would not let her win.

"We're not adding your name," I said firmly. "And we're going to the police to report your harassment."

Her confident expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Go ahead. I have evidence that could ruin your precious relationship," she sneered.

With newfound strength, I replied, "We have evidence too. Evidence of your harassment and attempts to extort money from us."

The saleswoman, who had been observing the situation, stepped in. "I'm sorry, but we cannot proceed with the transaction if there's a legal dispute involved."

Liu Yuyan's face turned pale as she realized her plan was falling apart.

Defeated, she gathered her belongings and stormed out of the sales office.

Zhou Yunqiao and I completed the paperwork and made theiao and I completed the paperwork and made the payment without any further interruptions.

Leaving the sales office hand in hand, we felt a sense of relief and a renewed sense of trust in our relationship.

We knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but we were ready to face whatever challenges came our way together.
